Here is information about our summer workshop, July 22 through 24, 2022.
We are excited to tell you that we believe things have progressed sufficiently to offer a face-to-face workshop this summer! Still, given the uncertainty of our public health situation, we think it best to also offer an online workshop for those whose situation makes it uncomfortable or impossible to attend in person. So we have once again decided to do both: an online workshop from 9 am to 1 pm (PDT) and an in-person one from 2:00-6:00 pm at Holy Names Music Center, our co-sponsor. This arrangement worked well last summer and allowed people to join us from as far away as Costa Rica and South Carolina!
The morning session will be our fifth online workshop. We find that it's surprisingly effective, even for beginners. We'll be working on the Zoom platform, so all you will need is a computer, tablet, or smart phone and a place where you can be relatively comfortable and undisturbed for a few hours Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
The afternoon session will offer classes and face-to-face private lessons as in the past. The faculty and offerings will depend on how many people join us. Bill Conable and Donna Doellinger will be teaching. We will all wear masks and will preserve social distancing to the extent possible. We expect that people attending will either be fully vaccinated or will have had a negative COVID test within the week of the workshop. Obviously, unexpected developments may force us to cancel this session, and if so, any payments can either be applied to the morning session or be refunded in full.
You’re invited to come to either session or even both if you like. We hope to see you in July!
